EXCLUSIVE: Bob Arum advises ‘clueless’ Eddie Hearn to ship out of USA

The Top Rank mogul gave a damning assessment of the performance of Hearn since joining subscription-based giants DAZN in the United States.

Arum has questioned where Hearn has the assets to deliver for the platform and become a success across the Atlantic.

“Eddie Hearn is an okay guy but he’s too full of himself to really be effective,” Arum told World Boxing News in an exclusive interview.

“DAZN has him doing events in the U.S. Everybody looking at it knows that it’s a mash. He’s spending money on these ridiculous programmes on DAZN that nobody cares about.

“He’s spending more money on these shows than Haymon is on PBC. Or even what we’re doing on ESPN. (The difference is) We both understand the U.S market, which Hearn doesn’t.

“DAZN itself would be much better advised having fights other than Canelo, which will get a lot of attention. They would be much better off, DAZN turning over their domestic programming in the US to Oscar’s Golden Boy.
